Supermarket Aldi has announced that it will be increasing its gin offering by 60% this autumn, as the country’s thirst for the spirit continues to grow.

Sales of gin have continued to soar this year, with Aldi now seeing a whopping 12,500 bottles fly off the shelves every day.

As part of its biggest gin range yet, the supermarket will be launching its first ever Gingerbread Gin Liqueur (£9.99), available in stores and online from 1 October.

The liqueur, characterised by warming notes of ginger, cinnamon, vanilla and orange is best enjoyed with a splash of tonic water or simply served neat over ice.

Providing an innovative alternative to traditional festive tipples left out for Santa, the supermarket’s newest Instagram-worthy spirit is expected to be a hit with shoppers, having been handcrafted using one of the biggest Christmas flavour trends this year – gingerbread.

This isn’t the first time Aldi has introduced an exciting gin liqueur to its collection.

As part of its incredibly successful Gin Festival range in July, the supermarket launched a Passionfruit Gin Liqueur (£9.99) – which sold out in just two days.

Gin enthusiasts nationwide will be pleased to hear that the Passionfruit Gin Liqueur and Aldi’s Oliver Cromwell Pink Gin (£10.99) are set to return this autumn – also available in stores and online from October 1.
